How did you first connect with our club?
I was initially approached via a letter sent to me at my place of work. I ignored it for a few weeks, but found it on my desk during a clean up and decided to make contact with the club.
Why do you stay a member?
Being a member of Rotary offers extra interest to my life. I enjoy the club meetings and have found many of the guest speakers give a picture of what is going on in my surrounding suburbs and state.
I have formed friendships with members and their partners.
Rotary gives me a much bigger picture of the good things happening around the world.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about our local projects, but also our club international projects. Being part of Operation Cleft Australia Board has allowed me to explore the wider world.
What does volunteering mean to you?
My mother volunteered for most of her adult life. She ran the school tuckshop, was involved in church groups and volunteered to deliver Meals of Wheels for more than 30 years. She showed me that being a volunteer gives us an opportunity to look beyond my immediate family and friends and work to help others in the world. By volunteering through Rotary, I have that same opportunity. It is very rewarding.
